Has anyone A/B tested the Powell Peralta Flight decks with Santa Cruz’s VX1000 construction decks? I feel like they highlight similar technology (and have similar price points…)

Thanks!

I personally don’t really like the flight decks - they feel dense and too rigid. Maybe some people like that feeling, but every landing feels like a dead thud IMO. Haven’t skated the VX construction yet, so can’t say whether that differs. ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯

Good to know! The pop off of the ground is good, but it’s the landing that feels flat (the “thud”)?
